Hull FC's Sudden Decision Leaves Coach John Cartwright Feeling Betrayed

Former Hull FC head coach John Cartwright expressed his disappointment and sense of betrayal after the club announced his departure without providing a clear explanation. Cartwright, who was informed that his contract would not be renewed beyond the current season, stated that he still has not received a reason for the decision. Despite the unexpected news, Cartwright has vowed to continue performing his duties and maintain his commitment to the team and players. The 60-year-old Australian coach had been at the helm since the start of the 2025 campaign, leading the team to a seventh-placed finish in his first season. The club has already begun the process of finding a new coach for the 2027 season, with Cartwright's current contract set to expire at the end of the ongoing season.
